Welcome!
Congratulations! Y ou are about to embark on a very exciting program. Learning
to speak English clearly, with proper pronunciation is the single most important
skill you must have to communicate effectively in today’s world market. The
Pronunciation W orkshop Video Training Program will enhance your English
speaking abilities and vocal skills, improve your self-confidence and will greatly
increase your chances for success.
This course is based on years of linguistic research and has produced dramatic
results for thousands of individuals around the globe. It is designed to help you
sound “more American” for oral presentations, interviews, teaching, business
situations, telephone conversations and general daily communication.
When a person learns English as a Second Language, they are speaking English
“filtered”through their first language. They are using their native language’s
“speech rules” of pronunciation (and often grammar) on their new language…
They are not aware of the American set of “speech rules”. This is basically what
the Pronunciation W orkshop program teaches you… “The Speech Rules of
American English”.
There are many schools and classes which teach English all around the world;
however, very few of them address the “speech rules” that you will learn in this
course. This is because many of the teachers who are providing English training,
do not know of these “speech rules”. Many of them are even making errors
themselves and teaching them to you! W e hear this daily from our clients.
When you were a child and learned your first language, you constructed a mental
inventory of your native language’s speech sounds. Those sounds became a part
of your speech repertoire. Unfortunately, you are now inserting these speech
sounds into your English. T oday, when you speak English, you reach into that
inventory and come out with many substitute sounds, something that is close,
but nonetheless incorrect. These repeated errors in conversation often cause you
to be misunderstood.
Some people call what we do “Foreign Accent Reduction”…this is not quite
accurate, for you are not reducing your foreign accent...you are actually gaining
an American Accent - - you are adding new sounds and new “speech rules” to
your speech inventory.
While you progress through this program, you will be learning things you were
never aware of before. Y ou most likely will find yourself saying, “W ow! I never
knew that!”Changing your old speech habits takes time. At first you may possibly be apprehensive using the learned techniques. However, eventually you will relax and the words and sounds will flow smoothly and clearly on their own. Once you complete each session, it should not be your objective to start speaking differently right away. Y our focus should be on listening to the sounds of your speech and the speech of those around you. For example, when you say “T ank you” instead of “Thank you”, your focus should not be on saying it correctly…but rather, “Oops – I just said that word wrong…I should have used a TH sound”. It is this AWARENESS that will eventually lead you to the improved pronunciation skills you are striving for.
Each video training session has its own accompanying chapter in this manual with practice material. Y ou will notice during the video classes that I often speak slowly and exaggerate certain target sounds. I do this purposely so that you can ‘hear’ and understand what I am teaching you. I recommend that you try practicing the material a little everyday using the learned techniques. Practice speaking VERY SLOWLY, out loud, in a strong voice and exaggerate the mouth movements. Y ou will be retraining the muscles of your mouth and tongue to move in new and different ways while mastering your new pronunciation patterns. Theoretically, once you understand the concepts and have retrained yourself, eventually these new speech patterns will progress into your own spontaneous conversational rapid speech.
T o receive maximum benefits, we recommend that you take our course over a period of two to three months, focusing on one session per week. T ry to practice daily with the videos.
The program you are about to begin was created to help people “sound American” for the purposes of teaching, interviewing, lecturing, business and general daily communication. Although America has many regional pronunciation differences, the accent you will learn is that of standard American English as spoken and understood by the majority of educated native speakers. Changing your old speech habits takes time. At first, the information presented on the videos may seem unusual, but eventually, you will see that these techniques will transform your speech, providing you with clearer, more intelligible English speaking abilities.
Good Luck and have fun! I hope you enjoy this program as much as I enjoy teaching it!

Ray was born in Russia. He dreamed of building the perfect roller coaster at the Grand Canyon in Arizona. He had a friend named Fred who lived in Norway. Fred’s profession was designing railroad tracks and his career involved traveling around the world. Ray thought it would be perfect if Fred designed his roller coaster ride. Fred was creative, brilliant and worked well with railroad tracks. He would be the perfect engineer for the project. The ride took two years to construct and was painted red and white. Everyone really wanted to ride the brand-new roller coaster.

V oicing Consonant pairs Consonant ‘S’Consonant ‘Z’
Voicing…
Is when your vocal cords are vibrating in your throat, creating a “buzzing sound”.
Say “Ahhhh”
Can you feel the vibrations in your neck? - all vowels are voiced - some consonants are voiced, some are not
Paired Consonants:
Unvoiced
Voiced Voiced P
»B T
»D F
»V SH
»ZSH K
»G S »Z Three rules for S/Z endings This is easier than it looks!
Rule #1If a word ends in a sound that is unvoiced (such as P,T,K,F), you add an unvoiced /S/
S e S S I o n
2
Examples:
1 cup,
2 cups
(the ‘p’ in cup is unvoiced, so you just add an unvoiced ‘s’)
1 cat,
2 cats
(the ‘t’ in cat is unvoiced, so just add an unvoiced ‘s’)
I break, he breaks
I stop, he stops
Rule #2
If a word ends in any of these sounds: ‘s,z,sh,ch,or dg (j)’
when adding an ‘S’ ending, add… IZZZZZZ
Examples:
1 Page
2 Pages
1 Bus
2 Buses
1 Lunch
2 Lunches
I Raise, He Raises
I Brush, He Brushes
I Push, He Pushes
Rule #3
If a word ends in a vowel sound (like the word Tree) or a voiced consonant (like the word Game), then when you add an ‘S’, continue the voicing throughout the entire word, and it should become a voiced ZZZZ.
Examples:
1 T ree,
2 T reezzzz (correctly spelled T rees)
1 Day,
2 Days
1 Shoe,
2 Shoes
I Fly, He Flies
1 Game,
2 Games
1 Head,

Paragraph Practice
Nurse Thatcher was thankful it was Thursday. She knew that on Thursday she had to deliver 33 boxes of thermometers to the North American Athletic Club. They thought that thermometers were necessary for testing the hydrotherapy baths. This was thought to benefit the athletes with arthritis. The athletic trainers required authorization to provide hydrotherapy to the youthful athletes on the three bulletin boards with thumbtacks throughout the athletic club. Rather than risk the health of the athletes, they thoroughly checked the thousands of thermometers to insure their worthiness; otherwise they needed to be thrown away.
“TH” Exceptions
Although the following words are spelled with a ‘TH’, they are pronounced as a ‘T’:
Thomas
Thompson
Theresa
Thailand
Thames
Esther
Thyme
Voicing the ‘T’ Sound
If a ‘T’ falls within two voiced sounds (usually vowels), the ‘T’ becomes voiced like a ‘D’.
Examples:
W ater » W ader (the whole word is voiced)
Better » Bedder
Butter » Budder
Voiced ‘T’ Practice
Betty bought a bit of better butter.
But, said she,
This butter’s bitter.
If I put it in my batter,
It’ll make my batter bitter.

Things to remember when making an American ‘L’ sound…
• Y our bottom jaw should be as wide open as possible.

‘L’ at the end of a word
• T o produce an ‘L’ at the end of a word, remember to slowly raise your tongue upward, towards your upper teeth, while keeping your bottom jaw as open as possible. The ‘L’ sound comes from the tongue movement, not from the placement.
(Using your finger to push down on your bottom teeth to keep your jaw open, may be helpful for practicing.)

Three rules for ‘–ed’ endings
Many verbs that are in the past tense, end in ‘–ed’.
(Example: “T oday I walk, yesterday I walked”)

If a word ends in an unvoiced consonant, when adding ‘-ed’, just add an
Unvoiced ‘T’
Example:
T oday I jump, yesterday I jumped.(pronounced jump-T)
T oday I walk, yesterday I walked. (pronounced walk-T)
Rule #2
If a word ends in a voiced consonant, add a V oiced ‘D’Example:
T oday I rub, yesterday I rubbed.(pronounced rub-D)
I cleaned the kitchen.
I poured the milk.
I scrubbed the floor.
I tagged the clothing.
I spilled some juice.
I trimmed the tree.
I moved to California.The clock buzzed all night.
Rule #3
If a word ends in a ‘T’ or a ‘D’ sound, we add a V oiced ‘ED’Example:
T oday, I lift the ball. Yesterday, I lifted the ball.
I heated up my dinner.
He voted this morning.
He handed me his report.
I traded in my old car.
She added some information.
